Accommodation-

During our yoga teacher training courses we provide our students with clean rooms, bedding and attached western style toilets with hot & cold water.We are glad to say that now we have taken an ashram for our Yoga Teacher Training students. Hence, from now onwards none of our student would have to stay in hotel infact everyone would stay in ashram which is facilitated with spacious 83 rooms and is just neighbour of our main school. Both of our ashrams are situated at the banks of Mother Ganga. Thus, each student can now have the privilege to feel the energy of mother Ganga and attain her bliss.

At Shivayogapeeth – We respect all religions. However, religious discussions in a comparative way are not allowed in the institution as this may interfere with your yoga practice.

Have an open mind and open heart. You are coming to a different country. The culture will be different, the people will be different. Please have an open mind set and accept the changes. Remember that the magic happens outside of your comfort zone. An intensive training is challenging both physically and mentally. Muscles you’ve never used before might scream at you. You might find yourself suddenly crying for no apparent reason in the middle of morning meditation. It happens because of the toxins which are released from the body. Whatever you experience, be they physical, mental or spiritual, keep an open heart. Give yourself compassion, and permission to feel how you feel.

When you enrol for our TTC, you affirm that you abide and comply these rules with full knowledge and understanding.

Yoga Teacher Training Reviews
(some words from heart)

"I completed my training under guidance of Swami Sudhir at Shiva Yoga Peeth, Reshikesh, India. Internationally qualified to instruct in Traditional Hatha, Ashtanga, Sivananda, Pranayama & Yogic Meditation. I am extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to study with such a profound teacher who lives the simple yet powerful yogic values and has dedicated his life to sharing its benefits and wisdom throughout the world. Deeply understanding the enormity of compassion, humor, simplicity, generosity, gentleness, dedication to higher values and practice is a gift that will stay with me for a life time. If you have ever considered studying yoga or visiting an ashram in India I couldn't recommend Swami Sudhir enough. Swami ensures it is always an unforgettable experience showing you the best of India and Indian way of life.
He is one of few Swamis that has the ability to teach traditional practice in a deeply meaningful way, to transform and inspire each person inexactly the way they need and help each individual to find 'their yoga'."

My journey at Shiva Yoga Peeth was wonderful. Shiva Yoga Peeth is best located in Tapovan, Rishikesh, overlooking the Holy Ganga River and many temples. The place with mountains looks awesome . Across the laxman jhula, there is an exotic market where we can find anything. The Outing tour was awesome with big team and swami ji

I’ve made wonderful friends from all over the world. The teachers and staff are very friendly, flexible and helpful. The training was a great mental, physical, spiritual and cultural experience next to the Ma Ganga river. Namaste ~ Phina Hoang
